Awngthim is an Australian language spoken in Cape York in Queensland.

The name Awngthim is not a synonym of Anguthimri, though due to their similarity they have sometimes been confused.

Dialects are Ntrwa'ngayth /ntʳwaʔŋajt̪/, Thyanhngayth /t̪jan̪ŋajt̪/, and Mamngayth /mamŋajt̪/. -Ngayth is a suffix common to many tribal names of the area. These are the Ntrwa'a, Thyanh, and Mam dialects.

The Ndrangith and Ndra'ngith languages have been confused with Ntrwa'ngayth.
